I set out on a great adventure,

The day my Father started leading me home,

Said there?s gonna be mountains to climb,

And valleys we?re gonna go through.

But I had no way of knowing,

Just how hard this journey could be,

And the mountains are steeper than I ever would have dreamed

But I know we?re gonna make it,
D F#m E
And I know we?re gonna get there soon
D F#m E2 E9M
And I know sometimes it seems like we?re going the wrong way

Some rocks on my shoes,

Well I know that day is coming
And I know it?s gonna be here soon

The Father will pick us up and carry us in His arms,
Bm C#m
And even on the best days, He says to remember we?re not home yet,

So don?t get too comfortable,
D Dm(strum
Cause really all we?re is just pilgrims passing through.
